ACC conference games are not good viewership. We don’t need more

We need to take advantage of only having 8 games to schedule up. Just looking at VT, we should hit up all of the top B12 and whoever we can get from the P2 as our OOC games. No more Wofford. Phase out the G6. Go hard and control what we can.

SEC moving to a 9 game schedule starting next year
OU_Sooner • 08/21/25 05:55 PM ET
There’s 16 SEC teams. Groups of 4 give everybody three rivals…
hokieZ71 • 08/23/25 10:02 PM ET
I hope this means 5 Auto Bids instead 8 or 14 for just th B1G & SEC, I know
Stech • 08/22/25 09:48 AM ET
IF I understand, the nine schedule thing was a big big 10 concern
1947Sunbowl • 08/22/25 10:21 AM ET
Yes the B1G was the Auto B1G Conference, I am hoping this means that 5 AB's
Stech • 08/22/25 10:26 AM ET
The ACC will follow….
Femoyer Hokie • 08/22/25 09:26 AM ET
I suggest a strongly written letter to the ACC
HokieAl • 08/22/25 09:51 AM ET
I agree on FSU, Clemson & Miami, but I have not seen Louisville or GT on
Stech • 08/22/25 09:58 AM ET
I'm only talking in terms of ACC revenue
HokieAl • 08/22/25 10:00 AM ET
That makes sense now, thanks.**
Stech • 08/22/25 10:03 AM ET
Just shows how much impact a mediocre VT football program can have on...
EDGEMAN • 08/22/25 10:12 AM ET
Yep, many people aren't going to invest until we get new leadership at AD
Stech • 08/22/25 10:18 AM ET
This is the correct reponse**

Didn't you guys have some good tussles with Arkansas
mancunian • 08/22/25 08:23 AM ET
Arkansas would be more of a geographic thing than anything else
OU_Sooner • 08/22/25 08:36 AM ET
from where I'm sitting, the top choices
Big12 guy • 08/22/25 08:56 AM ET
Agree Nebraska game should come back, but they aren't in the SEC, but
Stech • 08/22/25 09:50 AM ET
Ya, the 8 left behind. Screw Texas and OU, the hate is real. **
Big12 guy • 08/22/25 09:54 AM ET
Mizzou is a must. Big 8 vibes.
Maroon Baboon • 08/21/25 11:47 PM ET
That must mean a playoff format change is almost ready
HokieAl • 08/21/25 09:45 PM ET
It’s gonna be even more difficult for an ACC team to schedule an SEC game
RandomAsianGuy • 08/21/25 06:18 PM ET
F$U, Clemson, Louisville and GT won't have any problems.
EDGEMAN • 08/22/25 09:14 AM ET
and just wait, OOC partnership with the BIG 10
1947Sunbowl • 08/21/25 08:27 PM ET
I think the only way to change this dynamic
Big12 guy • 08/21/25 06:32 PM ET
How does the ACC solve their math problem?
4x4hokies • 08/21/25 05:58 PM ET
ACC conference games are not good viewership. We don’t need more ◄
HokieAl • 08/21/25 09:48 PM ET
So ACC will be boxed in not about the market
1947Sunbowl • 08/22/25 09:29 AM ET
Count ND games or some schools play 8 conference games. **
RandomAsianGuy • 08/21/25 06:24 PM ET
Count ND games in the 9, it can be a Conference Game for those that play em
Stech • 08/22/25 10:22 AM ET
If we missed out because ND was our 9th game that year how would we feel?
4x4hokies • 08/21/25 06:33 PM ET
New selection criteria changing it because of value going to ranked teams
Stech • 08/22/25 10:11 AM ET
Blame the SEC and the committee. **
